This is an antique sterling silver tea ball infuser with a repousse lid. The maker is Watrous, which became part of International Silver in 1898, so the tea ball probably predates 1898. It measures 1.7" high x 1.6" in diameter. There are elaborate star patterns pierced on the sides and a large petal pattern pierced on the bottom. It weighs 28.4 g or 18.3 dwt. or .9 troy ounces. The lid closes securely. The condition is very good, no tears, just one or two shallow dings on the body. This is, after all, a true antique over 100 years old, and perfection should not be expected.
